About “Street Lights”

One of the most emotionally distressing tracks off an already depression-focused album is “Street Lights.”

Kanye iterates the repetitiveness of life and its petty affairs, and even the monotony of time and destiny itself.

Light is a motif in Kanye’s work, with songs “Flashing Lights”, “Street Lights”, “All of the Lights”, “Ultralight Beam”, “Highlights” and “Low Lights” (while light is not used in the same context for all of the songs).
